Ultrasound-guided greater occipital nerve block: an efficient technique in chronic refractory migraine without aura?

Abstract

Ultrasound guided GONB with 1.5 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine for the treatment of migraine patients is a safe, simple, and effective technique without severe adverse effects. To increase the effectiveness of the injection, and to implement the isolated GONB, ultrasonography guidance could be suggested.
